That Japan's breakthrough record Quiet Life was released in both 1979 and 1980 is uniquely fitting for a band who were about to step out of the glam rock, post punk shadows of the late '70s and deliver a record with a brand new sound that would come to define the '80s. Quiet Life was the third, final and most successful release on the Hansa Records label. A forerunner for the alternative/new wave sound of the new decade, the album would become one of the great classic British albums. Original album half-speed mastered on heavyweight vinyl LP with gatefold sleeve packaging featuring 4 page insert with exclusive liner notes.
